NIGHTSHADE by Ronie Kendig, Review by Kim

Ronie Kendig is incredible! She is consistently amazing! And she created Tox! Best. Hero. Ever.

A
couple of warnings for Nightshade. Do not start reading it 25 minutes
before you have to start getting ready for church. You will talk
yourself into the belief that you really don’t need all that time to get
ready when you really do. Don’t read before bed unless you don’t mind
hardly any sleep or struggling to put your contacts in the next morning.
Finally, don’t start when waiting in the car for your daughter who will
be out in 2 minutes. You might ask her to read to you on the drive to
school!

I
loved Nightshade! The action starts at the beginning and just keeps
going. I really liked the whole concept of a team of discarded heroes
working covertly together. I loved ‘meeting’ the other team members and
can’t wait to read the other stories in the series.

I
also really liked both Max and Sydney, even though there was a time or
two or three (I’m talking to you Sydney!) I wanted to pull them aside
and have a quick chat with them. The growth in Max throughout the book
was great to read and believable. I also loved the ending especially the
last line! I can’t wait to start book two! Just awesome!

Back Cover Blurb:They've championed freedom, survived the cruelties of war, and now these

herself?Available in paperback and hardcover:Buy Nightshade at Amazon

Comments

Oh, Kim! I had to laugh at your comment. This is like me putting something on the stove and then..checking facebook... until I smell 'carmelized' food! This series will always be sort of a 'poster child' for this genre. Now I see many more authors writing this kind of high action contemporary drama and wonder how they get so much knowledge about the behind the scenes stuff!
